Some random notes:

As the Yankees complete a 3 game
set with the Orioles, its time for a bunch of quick observations and
commentary:

-The Yankees are playing
poorly right now. Incredibly, Ivan Nova, who has been a rock for them for almost
two years, got a five run lead against Baltimore and then promptly let them
score seven runs.

-Ichiro has one hit in each
game he has played as a Yankee. I am hoping that his Stadium home run is a
foreshadowing of things to come. That right field porch should be a piece of
cake.

-Joba is back and even though
he gave up some hits and runs in his first outing, it is still nice to say,
“Joba is back”.

-The Red Sox supposedly discussed
a blockbuster deal with the Rangers that included Josh Beckett, Kelly Shoppach,
and Jacoby Ellsbury. My only comment: how can they trade “dreamboat”? The pink
hats will revolt (for those who don’t know, pink hats are what Red Sox Nation
calls all the bandwagon jumpers who started following the team when it was
winning the 2004 pennant and now buy up all the Fenway Park tickets to watch
Jacoby’s ass, which means “real” Red Sox fan cannot go to Fenway. Their
description, not mine.
